    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

I really like the way Jack lifts the grapefruit and other top notes of Firefighter to a more citrusy finish. It is a beautiful warm day here in Maryland and this combination seemed like a perfect fit.

I have a sampler of Floris scents and I like all of them. You need to be a serious and distinguished individual to carry off wearing these. Clearly, that's me.

With this setup it was definitely a talc day for me.
